Writer Jonathan Sperber, History Professor at MU and Author of Karl Marx: A Nineteenth Century Life, reveals a new and nuanced portrait of the man who introduced the world to an entirely new way of organizing society and the economy. Sperber approaches the life of Marx with curiosity, exploring how the historical, political, social and economic environment shaped a man who who has been revered and despised.
Sperber will be at the Kansas City Public Library's Central Branch on Thursday, July 25, 2013 at 6:30pm to discuss his work.
